| Title | Do You Want a Design for War |
| Description | The Hollywood League for Democratic Action (formerly the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League) created this flier to advertise a meeting they were having to caution people about the rising potential for fascism in the U.S. The meeting was held on February 13, 1940, at the First Unitarian church at 8th St. and Vermont in Los Angeles. Speakers included Milton Sperling, Harry Graham Balter, and Sheldon Johnson. The top of the flier reads as follows: "Do you want....a design for war, a design for living in a fascist America, complete with all improvements, including: Concentration Camps! An American Gestapo -- with virtual power of life and death over 7,000,000 foreign-born! Compulsory registration and fingerprinting! Smashing of labor unions!" 12 x 9 in. |
